Pretty Shingles, Nailed Right
Walk down almost any street in western Gwinnett and you'll see architectural shingles. They're the most popular roof around for good reason: two layers fused together make them beefier than the flat 3-tab style, they cast a nice shadow that gives the roof some depth, and they tend to ride out wind better. What many people don't realize is that a shingle roof's lifespan depends a lot on the hands that installed it. Every architectural shingle has a narrow target band for its nails. Hit it, and the nails grab both layers. Miss high or low and that shingle may wave goodbye in the next big gust. Leaving off the starter row along the edges means the first course never bonds down. Skipping leak membrane in the valleys or bending old flashing back into place invites drips. We go by the manufacturer's printed directions, every single time. Correct nail count in the target band. Starter along eaves and rakes. Felt across the full deck and membrane wherever water likes to gather. Shiny new edge metal and wall flashing. A cap row that matches the shingle. Plus a check of your attic vents, since a roof that cooks from below ages early. You choose a color you love, and we'll handle all the parts that keep it up there.
